Title: Wormhole n150s and Wormhole n300s
Post by: safar1980 on August 06, 2024, 08:32:05 PM
The Wormhole™  (https://tenstorrent.com/hardware/wormhole) n150 and n300 PCIe boards are flexible, scalable processors built with Tensix Cores. Each includes a compute unit, network-on-chip, local cache and “baby RISC-V” cores, coalescing in powerful data movement through the chip.

Wormhole™ n150s
$999
Wormhole™ n150s features Tenstorrent's flexible, scalable Wormhole™ Tensix Processor operating at up to 160W, offering superior performance for cost compared to traditional GPUs and broad data precision format support. The processor can network into a multichip mesh for workstations and servers (such as Galaxy) and is supported by two open-source SDKs for either high-level (TT-Buda™) or low-level (TT-Metalium™) development. (Active Cooling Kit included.)

Wormhole™ n300s
$1,399
Wormhole™ n300s features two of Tenstorrent's flexible, scalable Wormhole™ Tensix Processors operating at up to 300W, offering superior performance for cost compared to traditional GPUs and broad data precision format support. The processor can network into a multichip mesh for workstations and servers (such as Galaxy) and is supported by two open-source SDKs for either high-level (TT-Buda™) or low-level (TT-Metalium™) development. (Active Cooling Kit included.)

what will these mine?

yeah would appreciate some more context on these too. from some basic research I did(entering their discord), I assume mining is not their main focus as I found absolutely nothing related to mining

This is not intended for mining, it's main focus is on AI which uses mostly low precision FP while crypto mining uses int32 & int64.
According to the specs there is no int64 support and only limited int32 support.
It's just a cluster of customized (cut down) RISCV processors.

So why is it here in mining.

i thought it could do some type of cpu mining ⛏️

pretty much seems like it is off topic if it does ai and no coins at all.

For a long time now, miners have been buying powerful modern graphics cards to rent them out for AI computing. Everyone says that mining is changing, and maybe the future of mining will be about paying for AI computing.
Nvidia's professional AI hardware is very expensive, and looking for profitable shitcoins to mine on gaming graphics cards is like a lottery.

AI training is not crypto mining. Someone calling it mining doesn't make it so.
However, the question was about using the AI accelerator for crypto mining. It would be a naive question from a newbie
but a "legendary" user should know better.

I was checking these directly on wormhole.com but they never mention this.

I thought that it was a miner for Wormhole W a token that built on the Solana blockchain.
